President Joe Biden plans to propose a nationwide cap on rent increases at 5% annually. This proposal targets landlords with over 50 units and aims to curb inflation-driven housing costs. The plan would require congressional approval and is part of broader efforts to make housing more affordable.

So it’s only a matter of time before new entities are created for each building a landlord owns? That way the aggregate is less than 50 units. Seems like too easy a loophole, considering most landlords already create a separate entity for each property.
